Erminie and Nanon.

Yesterday afternoon large and FASH
iOnable mstinee was given at the opera
house by the Carleton opera company.
"Erminie' being the opera produced,
No material difference was noticeable
In the rendition Of the opera from the
preceding night, except the improve
ment in the role OF "Rayennes," taken
by Nj. J. X. Murray in place of Mr.. w.
I. Carleton. Murray sang the part and
acted it with less stiffness, but his
height, which is much less than Mr.. Car
letOn's. showed against him. MIR. Drew
as CsdeauX, was equally as comic. He
possesses a fine full baritone and knows
how to use IL. Miss Lily Post, as Err
mimic, has very poor conception of the
part, and were it not for her singing,
which is very acceptable, her acting
would fall fiat. Instead Of evlncing dis
dain of the robber usurper, Ravennes,
as her afiianced, she seems TO rather
like him. Miss Fannie Rice, as Jsyotte,
a minor part which puts her away back
from the public, but which she works
| hard to make Ii as prominent as posi-
BILE, secured one encore 10 her song and
steps Dance the Minuet." The opera
was considerably cut at the ending.
AT night large audience, 10 which
were noticeable ma. y ladies and gentle
men In full dress, "Nanon" was
presented. Miss Rice, Taylor and Drew
In the first act score an encore In
the beautiful trio relating the kings
visit to the Golden Lamb, while Taylor
in act 2, in his tenor solo. "Tis but q
question of time" was recalled and
sang 1t over again. The third act was
cut badly in the dialogue at the begin
ming and the opera was finished much
earlier than on the previous presenta-
tlons Of it. The long waits between
acts, while very acceptable to those gen.
tlemt n who always crowd out for their
drinks, were tiresome to the audience,
and could be cut short, II the company
want to "cut" so muoh.
Tonight the new opera Of dorothy"
will be presented for the first time in
San Antonio. Seats are nearly all sold
and the evening will be the event OF
the week for this company. Tomorrow
night Mr.. Louis James and Mas Marie
Wainwright, open in "Virginius," Sat

Outrage to a Widow.

Yesterday afternoon some four or five
Mexican boys, nearly young men, per-
petrated a very dastsrdly outrage on
Mrs. PenalOZa, a widowed Mexican lady
living on South Laredo street in a neat
cottage. The lady was not at home, nor
were the children, when these fellows
entered the house and upset the furni-
ture, took her children's clothing and
stuffed them up the chimney until they
we're blazing and threw them on the
roof. Then they procured weasel coz
tanning filth and scattered the rooms and
outside Of the house with IL.
On leaving the house, the
young men came face to face
with Mrs. Penaloza, returning home.
She recognized several Of them, as they
ran away and this morning two of them,
Ricardo Martinez and Carlos Flores,
recognized by her. were fined S25 each
by the recorder. The others, II caught,
will be dealt with with like severity.
Whether the young men held grudge
against the lady or whether they were
simply insanely drunk, is not known,
but pretty certain it is they took very
good chances Of going TO the peniten-
tiary on charge Of burglary, Instead of
disOTderly, with q small fine.

night under the influence OF liquor and

Level Headed ON the Union.


ADA, La. March 1. 1851.
Editor CoJax C7rosiols:
see in your editorial on the organ
izati0n of Farmers Union near Mont
gomery, you state that if yOu had the
constitution of the Union, you would
comment more freely. Happening to
have the constitution required, send
it herewith, with my compliments. l
am glad the Farmers Union is taking
hold in our parish. see from the
Farmers Union," a paper published
at Choudrant, Lincoln parish, La, that
the Union of Louisiana has united
with the Alliance of Texas, together
aggregating over 1000 strong. l
have canvassed the matter in this
vicinity, and find q number of the
citizens much impressed with the
Union, and am sure If an organizer
would come this way such On organiza-
ton could be perfected here. hope
to see your opinion freely expressed in
the CHRONICLE. For myself, believe
it is good move in the right direction,
and shall rejoice to see Grant parish
join largely in the enterprise.
Everything is quiet in this section of
the parish, with "Jack Frost" putting
in frequent appeas ,ance; and, if be
comes to see us much more, the chances
art that the peach crop will be fail
ure, and when you come ont this way
next summer, the probability is that
you will find peaches rather scarce.
With best wishes, am truly yours,
G.. H. HARvILL.
